Racetam Dosages & Attack Dose

If you are new to the racetam nootropic culture you may have heard the term “attack dose” thrown around a few times on various forums and blogs. Using an attack dose is one very common technique nootropics users use to maximize the racetams cognitive boosting benefits. It is by no means needed to feel results from racetams

An attack dose is a much larger dose (often 2-3 times the recommended dose) that is used anywhere from a day to a week. Using an attack dose will help kick-start the effects and get the supplement working and accumulated in your system faster.

By using an attack dose, your body accepts the supplement quicker. An attack dose may also make you become more aware of how the supplement works in your system. Attack doses are done at your own risk, so use common sense and assess your tolerance beforehand.

It is important to remember that by using an attack dose you are increasing the chance of experiencing unwanted side effects like headache and nausea. At the same time, dosing too little may offer little to none of the desired results you wish. Using an attack dose is an advanced technique that should only be used by advanced users. By no means is it recommended to use an attack dose without first assessing your tolerance to the specific supplement.

Not all nootropic supplements are meant to have an attack dose. Just stick to the racetams. Sometimes, attack doses will yield opposite results. Some people find attack doses will give them the “foggy clouded mind syndrome”. This of course is not the desired results of nootropics and may be due to sensory overload or possible over stimulation of GABA. This side effect seems to vary from person to person based on sensitivity. Many find that using a choline supplement like Alpha GPC with their attack dose can eliminate or reduce these effects.
